So the guys who did Planetary Annihilation are gearing up for a second game. An RTS consisting of giant skynet robots fighting against lovecraftian monsters, bashing their way through cities and fighting over who gets to devour humans for resources. There is no human faction.

The Singularity is nigh. Newly-sentient automated factories churn out waves of giant robots, hell-bent on dismantling and recycling all of human civilization. The insect-like Machines can deploy into stationary modes, enhancing their shielding and firepower. They decimate their enemies with ranged energy weapons.

The humans invoke the tentacled Ancient Ones in a last-ditch effort to stem the Machine onslaught. This proves unwise. Now the Ancient Ones vie with the Machines to consume the last scraps of Earth.

Battles unfold on floating fragments of Earth as they are ripped from the planet and pulled toward the waiting mouths of god-sized faction leaders. The cities that lie in your path are fully destructible, as is the terrain beneath them. Uproot buildings to use as clubs! Create mighty warriors that can cut the Earthshard in two! Bore giant holes through the ground!

This sounds bloody amazing. And their trailer is even better.

:O

HOLY CRAP

(If I win, I may end up with an extra copy of CKII (since I already own it))

Not if past experiences with bundles is any indication, you won't. I think the only package deals that provide extra gift copies are for Valve's games.

Think I'll throw in a vote for i2amroy so he can grind those waifus all night long.

Thanks for all the headset information, guys. I've been thinking about buying a set for gaming and streaming, but since they tend to be a bit on the pricy side I don't want to make a bad choice and waste money

TF2 was a lot of fun! Will be a lot better once I figure out the headset shenanigans. Thanks for showing up, people of B12.

Does this require heavy net stability and/or large downloads? (1GB+) ._.

Yep 

MZ, what do you know about headsets? Got any recommendations?

Besides, it doesn't actually remove much if any of the mysticism.

So what if there's these little organisms living inside other organic lifeforms which indicate Force sensitivity? It doesn't actually explain why the Force exists, how it can manipulate thoughts, objects, or energy, or how those sensitive to the Force can see what might happen in the future, among any number of other things. It's a bit of added redundancy to have the Force manifest itself through microscopic organisms rather than the Force users themselves, but other than that the Force is still a mystic energy field that surrounds us and binds the galaxy together. Nothing's changed.
